Bay-Head is called "A Country Village by the Sea," located on Long Beach Island, a barrier island off the Jersey Coast that is a popular summer resort area. It's approximately 60 miles north of Atlantic City, 65 miles east of Philadelphia and 70 miles south of New York City. Quiet and quaint, Bay Head residents enjoy an elegant lifestyle. Well-kept Victorian homes line the streets, colorful flowers bloom in season and over 40 specialty shops, art galleries and antique shops can be found in the town. Dining in Bay Head consists of everything from take-out to award winning gourmet restaurants. The beaches of the area are not crowded - the Atlantic Ocean lies to the east of town and to the west is Barnegat Bay. Bay Head is the type of place where you can fly a kite on the beach, collect seashells and sea glass, bicycle on the quiet village streets or watch the ducks in the wildlife sanctuary. However, if you prefer more action, there are lots of other recreational choices in the area, such as kayaking, diving, fishing, surfboarding, windsurfing, water-skiing and sailing. Birdwatchers love the area - Twilight Lake is a salt-water lake that connects the lakes of Point Pleasant to the North with Barnegat Bay to the South. The natural vegetation of this lake makes it ideal for birds that migrate on the Atlantic Flyway.

The classification for north-northwestern New Jersey is humid continental and has slightly cooler temperatures due to the elevation. Average temperatures in winter are usually just below freezing.
